Pierre competes in a triathlon, along a course as shown in the figure below. He begins swimming at starting point S and swims straight across the lake, gets on his bicycle at station A, bikes to station B, and then runs to finishing line F. The judges use a stopwatch to record his elapsed times of tA, tB, and tF hours from point S to points A, B, and F, respectively. If the distance, in miles, between points S and A along the racecourse is denoted by SA, then what is Pierre's average speed for this race, in miles per hour?
